Tonight 8 GoodGymer's ran 4km to Edmund Bacon Court.
The local residents had been donated a number of herbs including Lavender, Rosemary and other plants, Azalea, Hydrangeas, Geraniums and Salvias.
So we began our first task, weeding the borders and collecting any unwanted bulbs to be dried out. Then came the digging, checking the holes were the correct depth and pouring in water before bedding in the new plants.
The residents were delighted with our efforts and even supplied tea & biscuits!
We look forward to seeing this grow when return later in the year.

Tonight 8 GoodGymer's ran 5km to Eaton Park on a lovely sunny evening.
We met Aafje from the Friends of Eaton Park, who supplied us with tools and explained the evenings task - to sweep gravel from the steps and path inside the grand rotunda.
Armed with brooms we split into pairs to cover the whole area, it was surprisingly satisfying seeing the results of a freshly swept floor! There was also time to collect any rubbish nearby.
As the sun went down our evening was sound tracked by a local drumming group practicing their rhythmic grooves in the nearby bandstand!
Shout out to Amie who joined us for the first time!

Tonight 9 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 4km to support St Matthew's Church. It was our first visit here, and the route included a jog up Gas Hill!
Once we arrived Reverend Patrick showed us the tools and asked if there were any 'Happy choppers'? Which at GoodGym the answer is always yes!
He directed us to the overgrown areas of the car park, and the borders in front of the church, and we got to work clearing weeds and brambles so that the entrance signs could be seen more clearly.
Also inside the church an Easter display needed dismantling, including a number of large stones to be carrier back into the garden. In no time at all, both tasks were completed with a sense of satisfaction comparing the before and after photos... We were also offered refreshments of tea & biscuits!
Shout outs to Francesca for completing her 10th task, and Emily reaching 100 Good Deeds!! Marvelous work everyone.

Tonight we returned to Alfred Nichols Court, running 6km for an Easter Quiz!
This session was organsied as a way to bring local residents together in the communal hall, which is often unused.
The 7 GoodGymer's and 10 residents split into 3 teams to test knowledge of history, Easter facts, pictures & music trivia. We stopped half way to share refreshments provided by Norwich City Council.
The winning team named 'Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived' took the prize of Easter Eggs & Malteaser's!
It was a really fun evening, with residents already looking forward to having us back.

Tonight 5 GoodGymers returned to Catton Grove Community Centre.
We were tasked with planting various types of bulbs in the flower beds, so 4 of us got to work digging and planting, and even spaced some of the bulbs into a pretty “G” for “GoodGym” shape in the soil!
Another member removed moss and weeds from the patio outside the community centre entrance to freshen it up a bit.
The bulbs we planted last year had already bloomed and looked beautiful, so it will be great to return to see what tonight’s bulbs look like once they are in bloom too.

Tonight 10 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 6km to the Phoenix Community Centre.
It was a busy venue, we were working alongside kick boxing, drama classes and a choir rehearsal!
Our task was to continue painting the corridor, tidying up weeds and leaves and cleaning a children's play house outside.
We split into 2 groups to work indoors and out, whilst all the activities were taking place. In a hour, 4 walls were freshly painted and 3 bags of weeds were filled!
Shout out to Sai who attended her second task, in a smart new GoodGym t-shirt! Well done everyone.
